Indianapolis Star Endorses Clinton
The Indianapolis Star endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for president Friday just four days before the Democratic primary in Indiana, praising her “years of high-level experience” as a senator, which have left her “well prepared for the rigors of the White House.”
Editors at the Star, who called Clinton “tough, experienced and realistic,” contrasted her with her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, whose “inexperience in high office is a liability,” they wrote.
“Clinton offers a clear-eyed view of the way things are,” they wrote. “Her depth of knowledge is remarkable.”
The endorsement from the Star, the largest newspaper in Indiana, could be a boon for Clinton, who already leads in polling ahead of Tuesday’s primary.
A RealClearPolitics average of polls released Thursday shows Clinton with a 6 percent lead in Indiana. Clinton has been gaining momentum since her victory in the Pennsylvania primary April 22, which she won by nearly 10 percent.
we have three democrats running for president. id rather dig up the gipper and let him have another term
obama and hillary are accomplished liars, but i think hillary is slightley less anti america, and thus deserves the nod over barry obama
I am a North Carolina voter and i can’t wait to cast my vote for Hillary!!
Outstanding. Great choice, and the article in great. Absolutely agree with their endorsement. As to the folks that brought up that silly PaulvClinton court case. It’s ludicrous and we’ve been laughing at it for a while now. The Obama supporters have a few people planting that erroneous suit on every site. It’s quite silly.
I would expect nothing lesss from Fox News. Giving Hillary a pass over the lies she stated about landing in Kosovo. Racism at it’s besst. Great job Fox News.
I hope she wins the states that are left. Obama is a talker he doesn’t have a clue on the doing part. Wake up America! Listening to the superdelegate news it sounds like they want Obama as the nominee no matter what, so what ever happened to the popular vote? It seems that they can decide on the nominee and the popular vote isn’t important.
I would rather have a woman with high level leadership ability than continue to play political games. I’m rather sick of this campaign and we haven’t even started the run for the presidency!
Thanks,
Ann Rogers
The Star is a rag with declining readership.
It’s endorsement means nothing.
Please stop it with the “Bill Clinton led us through economic prosperity”. Its called the business cycle people, he was just fortunate to preside during an upturn that was not of his making. In fact if you remember it all ended in tears anyways with the dotcom bust, enron and so forth.
Obama has real judgement, Wright just proves he is in touch with the division America needs to heal. Do you really think he’ll be divisive like Wright? whatever.
Hes a true patriot who confronts issues and heals division, instead of false patriotism like wearing flag pins.
Experience doesn’t = judgement.
I am an Independent who leans slightly right. When this campaign began I could not stand Hillary, and I didn’t know much about Obama. At this point, even though I’ll probably vote for McCain unless something changes, I don’t think Hillary would be the worst choice. No,Obama would be the worst choice by far. I shudder to think of he and Michelle leading this country.
